My first and last time at the beach in 2020. It was also my first time at a Maine beach and I had…read moreno idea how clean and serene they were. I guess I'm just used to all the garbage and crowds along the Jersey Shore. The only downside is that parking is a bit pricey, at $20 a pop. But if you are an early bird and can make it there before I think either 8 or 9, then parking is only $5. Since we came on a Tuesday (at around noon), there weren't much people around, which was super nice. The weather for that day was only forecasted at the low 70s with some clouds, but it turned out to be a great beach day. It was warm, but not sweltering. Warm enough to go in the water - but only if you're brave. The water was icy cold. But after a while, you just become numb and don't even notice it (lol). There aren't really any waves but there is a very strong current so you definitely don't want to mess around with that. I never went out further than past my stomach, especially since I don't swim very well. Even just standing there with the water up to my waist, I could feel the currents pulling me. The best part of this beach is that it's only a 20-minute drive from Portland. We were visiting for the week and staying in Downtown, and didn't want to drive far to get to a beach so Ferry Beach was perfect for us. If I lived in the area, I would totally get a season pass.

Very nice small protected beach. The parking lot is also small but I've never had a problem getting…read morea spot. If you live in Scarborough get a beach pass for $40 at city hall. Very nice at low tide with a tidal pool for kids to play in. You can walk the beach all the way to the Black point Inn.

What a fun place! Parking can fill up quickly but they seem OK with parking on the front lawn as…read moreoverflow. There's a variety of things to do inside & out. I stick to go-carts & mini golf with the occasional batting cages. For Father's Day 2026, my husband & I treated my dad to both go-carts & mini golf. Dads golfed for free that day. It was busy so they quickly ran out of adult height clubs but we didn't mind using shorter ones. We gave up after the 5th hole because groups were getting backed up. Unfortunately, I don't think people read the rules about a 6-stroke maximum per hole & the groups seemed large (5+). It is still an awesome mini golf course! The Slick Track is super fun! I didn't have a chance to try the Naskart track because the line never seemed to go down. That track allowed (2) people per cart. Clean facility & they also serve beer / hard seltzers (not sure how long that has been an offering). That's a plus, in my opinion!

The only downside was losing to my baby sister in everything! But come out to enjoy an hour and get back to being a kid without breaking the bank!
